YONKERS, N.Y. - The Yonkers School District has come under fire recently, after
reports
surfaced that a district security guard claimed he was fired for reporting the presence of a sex offender at Montessori School 27.

According to a report
filed by the Journal News
last week, former Montessori security officer John Perrotta is seeking $150,000 in damages from the district after filing a claim against the Yonkers Public Schools, accusing them of “retaliating against him for notifying his superiors of the repeated presence of a Level 2 sex offender.”

The identity of the alleged sex offender is currently not available. School district officials could not immediately be reached on Tuesday for comment.

Keep following the Yonkers Daily Voice for more information in the case as it becomes available.
